Specialist Notes

Beautiful edition of the Odes with translation and commentary by Alessandro Adimari, academic of the Lincei, accompanied by the front door designed by Alesander Varanus and engraved by Charles Audran. & nbsp; Brunet IV, 663: " on estime plus les observations d'Adimari sur Pindare que sa traduction ".
